Advocacy

One of the main directives of TexCen is to support and encourage legislative advocacy for the bleeding disorders community. By actively meeting with and writing to our state and federal legislators, we can bring the important aspects that affect our community to the attention of our representatives. It takes the effort of each of us in our community to make our “voice” loud enough. TexCen participates in Washington Days and Austin Days.

Texas Central Hemophilia Association is a member of the Texas Bleeding Disorders Advocacy Coalition (TXBDC). We advocate at the state and federal level on issues important to the bleeding disorders community. The Coalition is a joint effort of the Lone Star Chapter and Texas Central Hemophilia Association. Learn more about the coalition at txbdcoalition.org.

The mission of the Texas Central Hemophilia Association (TexCen), in support of North Texans with bleeding disorders, is to promote advocacy, to support efforts for finding a cure, to increase awareness within the general public and to provide a support network for our community members.
